2009
Llandrindod Wells is proud to present the leading Victorian Festival in the UK today. Set in the beautiful heart of Wales, it is held in the last full week of August before the Bank Holiday. As Llandrindod was a thriving spa resort in the Victorian era it seems natural to base the Festival on the Victorian theme. The town's unspoilt architecture provides a perfect backdrop to the celebrations, and on Temple Gardens and Middleton Street we have ideal venues for the many different types of street entertainment provided free throughout the day.
Townsfolk and many holiday-makers promenade in stunning costumes, soaking up the atmosphere, marvelling at the magnificent street entertainers, bravely entering competitions or attending one of the numerous programmed events.
The 9 day Festival will be incorporating some new events and street entertainment with some of the old favourites which regular Festival-goers have come to love.
The Festival aims to provide fun for all the family and cater for all ages and tastes.
At the end of the nine days, the proceedings are closed in the grandest of manners with the moving torchlight procession and fireworks display over The Lake - a spectacle not to be missed.
